The Chipmunk's Roar: Chapter 3: Comfort and Trying Again

Chapter 3: Comfort and Trying Again


 * At the Seville house*

Alvin and Theodore jumped in surprise as they heard Simon yell from the basement. They both ran down the stairs, and saw their brother running around like crazy. "Simon! What's wrong?!" Alvin asked, concerned about his brother's well being. "We heard you yell," Theodore added. Simon sighed, pushed his blue glasses closer to his nose, and turned towards his brothers. "I was yelling because I thought I could bring a TV character to our world, but for some reason, it didn't work. I failed," Simon said, disappointed. "It's going to be okay, Simon. You'll figure it out!" Theodore said giving Simon a hug. "Yeah, Simon. Maybe you just need to take a break, and then you'll be able to fix the problem!" Alvin suggested as he joined his brothers for a group hug. Simon hugged his brothers back, appreciating their sympathetic words. "Thank you, guys. Maybe you're right. Dinner will be ready soon. Let's go eat, and then I'll look at my experiment again," Simon replied before un-plugging everything and going upstairs with his brothers. Dinner was served, and after taking some more time to hang out with his brothers, Simon decided to try and go work on his experiment. After plunging everything in again, Simon looked at his notes and the machine, trying to see what went wrong. Eventually, he found out that n error had occurred on the computer. Luckily, it was an easy fix. Simon decided to try the machine one last time. Simon fired up the machine like before, and watched as the circle of white energy appeared again. This time however, it got bigger and brighter. Eventually, it got so bright that Simon had to shield his eyes before the light vanished. Simon looked, but he didn't see any lion cub... Just an empty space. Simon sighed again at the unsuccessful result. Simon looked at the basement clock. "Eight forty-five. I better get to bed before Dave gets mad at me for staying up so late. Oh well, I'll just try the experiment again tomorrow!" Simon said before shutting off everything as well as un-plugging the machine. Simon then grabbed an old, big white sheet and covered the machine with it. Now feeling tired, Simon walked slowly up the basement stairs and closed the door. What he didn't notice however, was the cord he had forgotten to un-plug, and the colorful circle inside of the machine that was now revealing the lion cub.
